Paul reminds his readers that they are all children of God through faith in the work of Christ. But instead of growing in the liberty with which Christ has set them free, they have slipped back into old bondage. Join us for “No Going Back” from Galatians 4:8-11 as we see how remembering God's work in our past directs our lives in the present.

In a beautifully packed, Trinitarian paragraph, the Apostle Paul wants his readers to internalize their adoption as sons in the family of God. It’s our “sonship” — our status as first-born inheritors of the promise — that serves as the foundation for intimacy and communion with God. Join us for “From Slaves to Sons” from Galatians 4:1-7 as we examine how Paul’s ancient vision gives fresh life to us today!

Pastor Joey preached on Sunday and rebooted our series in Galatians following the break we took for Advent. We begin again in chapter 4, verse 1.

Coming home for Christmas Recap

One day heaven and earth will be reunited. We will live in unity and peace with God, with others, and with creation, and we will know the fulfillment of our longings for love, goodness, and purpose. Join us as we see in Revelation 21 what it be like when we are Finally Home and how we live here and now in light of that future.

In the great story of the Bible, we begin coming “home” when we come to Jesus. But even those of us who have walked with Jesus for decades still feel a sense of restlessness, of homelessness. Why? Because no home here will last forever—we seek a home that is to come. So what do we do in the meantime? Join us for “Homeward Bound” from Hebrews 13:11-15!

Having lost their original home, humanity turned to making a home for themselves, a home where they could try to reclaim what they’d lost in the curse. Their attempt to build a tower to commune with God—on their terms, not his—failed, with disastrous results. Join us for “Home-Making” from Genesis 11:1-9, as we see how our longing for a home often leads us in fruitless directions.

Advent begins. In this season, we’ll prepare for Christmas by looking at Jesus’ birth in the larger story of the whole Bible. Many of us feel a sense of weariness, disconnection, and emptiness. We long for home – for the safety, identity, and love that God made us to know and share. Join us as we look at Genesis 1:1-5, 26-31 and “Our First Home.”

Pastor Joey does a Geeky Greek segment and gives us an Advent preview.

Paul wraps up his long explanation of how Abraham gets his one world-wide family by telling an astounding and astoundingly dense before-and-after story. We were locked up and under guard—until Jesus came!—but now we are sons and daughters of God. Join us for a deep dive into “Before-And-After” from Galatians 3:23-29!
